*Holly Paint*

I found this bookcase awhile back and

I swear it is the heaviest thing ever!!

Trust me I know because I lugged this thing many times as I tried to figure out what color and style to paint!!

I decided to use stripper for the first time, which was easy...this thing is solid wood so I primed it then painted it white. I distressed it then sealed it...which a few day's later it had yellow spots all over it....uughh...frustrating!(Oh...the yellow spots are because I used Polyurethane on white, I know better then that, just wasn't using my brain that day!)

So out came the sander...more paint... more sanding...stain...bead board...sanding...this piece is a true labor of LOVE.

But well worth it...I have tried every spot in my house because I want to keep it so badly, but nothing works so it's up for sale.

I'll be sad when it's gone...we formed a bond through all that mess!SOLD!
